Astrobiology @ AGU Fall Meeting

The deadline for abstract submissions is fast approaching for sessions at the American Geophysical Union's (AGU) 47th annual Fall Meeting in San Francisco. Below are some sessions that might be relevant to the astrobiology community and you can look here for the complete list of sessions accepting abstracts.

Session 3669: Iron cycling in extreme environments
Iron is a highly abundant redox-reactive element on Earth, and is known to support energy acquisition through oxidation and reduction by a diverse array of microorganisms. However studies of biogeochemical iron cycling in extreme environments are scarce, and the contribution of these environments to iron and related biogeochemical cycles remains poorly defined. This session will draw upon recent research in microbiology, geochemistry and related disciplines spanning laboratory, field and modeling approaches.https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/webprogrampreliminary/Session3669.html
